I think MacRumors should close this thread. The ridiculous insults coming from the holier-than-thou people in this thread leads me to assume that the average age of MacRumors forum members is twelve.

Pathetic.
 
I wonder how many chores he had to do before his parents would let him camp out in front of the retail store with their credit card....
 
C'mon guys. Let him have his iPad 2, it's all he has.

Meanwhile, the normal people, will be hanging out with our friends/family during the day and having s3x at night.:)
 
that is OD early. i felt like an idiot going after school on friday. but this guy trumps anyone. at least that apple store is outside, my local apple store is in the mall so i guess everyone will be waiting outside for it to open then running up the escalators to see who gets on the line first lol. i hope the lines aren't that bad, i don't plan on waiting in line past 7pm.

Actually, that's precisely why they start selling them at 5PM. The line forms inside the mall, but outside the store, generating interest. They may also have a deal with the mall to let them stay open a bit later than normal to accomodate the people in line.

Ummm this is the iOS 5 version. iOS 5 just isn't out yet. And it will be at least 3 years before you see 256GB of storage in an iPad....

iOS 5 version? So's my iPod 3. iPad 2 is not the right name for it. It's iPad 1.5 at best - there isn't enough improvement over the original to call it 2.0. That's my point.
 
it's good for traffic / post counts ... which is how the ranking/size of BBS/forums is determined.

it's a business move by MR, pure and simple.

and i don't disagree with that decision, I just hope that the "mods" realize this and don't start banning people left and right when this turns into a hate-fest (i hope it does because at least that is mildly entertaining ... moreso than the original article.)

I understand how page hits can equate $. And still, I stand by my "we're better than this" comment.
Including this one article on Page 2 would have virtually zero effect on MR's bottom line.
 
Apple's media grab was successful.

This guy would look like a fool if pre-orders were being delivered on launch day.
 
Overkill. Plain and simple. You can only be a fan to the extent that it doesn't make you look weird.
 
I'm surprised how mean everyone is about this. I agree it is a silly waste of time, but it's far from the only hobby people take up that falls into that category. If he enjoys it that much, good for him.
 
He has ONE just ONE Friend on Facebook and 22 Follower on Twitter, that's sad...

no.. what is sad is that you think because he only has one friend on "Facebook" means he only has 1 friend in life. It is also sad that you think having 22 followers is sad. So if you have 100 followers does that make you cool or something?

We are better than this, the readers that is. But, other people have other agendas/requirements ... and here we are. That's why I suggest we have fun with the situation we're in.

If I still lived in Texas, I'd show up with some beer/ladies and show iJustin a good time. Then I'd post it on MR for chuckles. But, alas, I live on a different continent now. Even the most homeless people in Germany, wouldn't do that, unless it was for beer :D
 
That is the ugliest Apple Store I have ever seen.

Nice rock planter. And geez, you think they could turn the water on the grass for a few minutes a day??

What a friggin' dump.

He probably put a tent there cause the place looked abandoned.

it's winter...in dallas....who waters their yard in the winter?? LOL

well, I'm no expert - but I think one friend in Facebook and 22 Twitter followers is very sad when it comes to self proclaimed "internet celebrities", as this guy claims to be...

And specially after the whole attention he got when he pulled the same stunt when the iPhone 4 was launched.

Very sad indeed.

... but thats just me.

My point is there is more then enouh to call it 2.0. I don't know what more they could have done to make you happy other then put more storage in it, which is pricey and they wanted to keep it at the same price.

Well I never said I agree with the guy or support him infact I think its quite sad... but its annoying to see some troll try to make someone look bad by making it seem that Facebook friend count or twitter follower count actually is important.

So all the teenyboppers and sheep on Facebook who have hundreds of friends (most of which they will not know) are infact cool because they have hundreds of friends or hundreds of followers.. people who believe such a thing are sad.

Going outside and meeting people or meeting your friends is whats important. Going to see them face to face. Speak with them and comunicate as humans.
